Pina loca, Ver 119 West Seneca Street, Manlius, NY 13104

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about the food and friendliness of the owners. I felt so welcome and the food was so very authentic. I got my favorite, tamales, and they were the best and BIGGEST I’d ever had. The Birria meat is so delicious. I got it on nachos and it was a great decision. As far as the atmosphere, it really wasn’t my thing. Its bright yellow inside, colorful, with only a few tables. Paper plates and plastic cutlery, which I hope is temporary. A Great place to take kids. To me, it seems like more of a carry out place, which is what I’ll probably do from now on. I just prefer a more sensory-friendly, intimate atmosphere with real plates and silverware. It was clean, and the music was great, though! Next time, I’m definitely ordering the street corn and birria again. To go. :)"

"Have been here twice since it opened and each time was great! Food is authentic and fresh! A great spot to dine independently or “grab n go” when looking to “treat yourself” to something good! I’ve dined in both times and found the service to be very friendly and quick! They also have a full hard ice cream selection."

"I felt like I was back down south! I can't believe we have authentic Mexican right up the street, but it was fantastic. Tamales, pineapple smoothie, guacamole, house made chips and birria tacos were so good I had to go back and order more. Everyone was super friendly and I even got my five year old to try everything with a thumbs up."

"This place is so good. Highly recommend the birria and mango on a stick. The food is authentic and the staff accommodating. Very excited to get more food options in Manlius."

"Went yesterday for opening night after much anticipation! I loved it and my toddler ate most of his bean quesadilla and crazy pineapple! We all agreed the tamales were delicious and the mango on a stick and crazy pineapple were super tasty though the two other adults I was dining with pointed out that it would be nice to have options for different levels of spiciness for the fruit and entrees. I loved my quesobirria even though they ran out of the broth (understandable for opening night) one other diner felt his birria was bland bc he didn’t know it was supposed to be served with flavorful broth. Super excited to try out more of their selection!"
